odd idling and bad smell

I was in line at the car wash and all the sudden the car starting idling weird, hard thumps every so often. It didn't die, and I got it home ok but when I parked it I smelled somthing like rotten eggs, and my SES light came on. It wasn't overheating, the oil pressure was at 20, and the RPMs were fine, any ideas on what happened?

Rotten egg snell usually = plugged catalytic converter.

Re: odd idling and bad smell

That's what I was thinking, but would that cause the odd idle?

As he said, a plugged cat...most likely cutting airflow.
